Chapter 386: Annual Meeting
Nan Zhiyi frowned, and it took a while to figure out who Ling Li was talking about.
Then, he smiled nonchalantly: "How do I know if she likes me or not?" Do you need me to ask her? But I'm going to ask, I'm afraid you'll be even angrier. β
Ling Li pursed the corners of her lips, not knowing what to say, but she also knew that Nan Zhiyi's words were impeccable.
"Shameless!" She muttered in a low voice, "Seeing that the male teacher next door began to look like a human, I wanted to come to pick the fruits of victory, why didn't I see her dedication before?" β
There was no way to blame Nan Zhiyi for being angry, so she had to turn the gun and began to condemn the ill-intentioned Teacher Bai.
She has inquired with Lu Peng, this teacher Bai is pretentious and self-proclaimed as a flower in the School of Biology, and he is engaged in a high-tech industry like biotechnology.
said that she had obsessive-compulsive disorder cleanliness fetish, the office was cleaned by students every day, the flowers on the desk were changed every week, and the students were forced to send her lilies.
After working with Nan Zhiyi in the School of Biology for three years, she looked down on an old farmer like Nan Zhiyi who dealt with the land every day, especially Nan Zhiyi, who usually dressed casually, and most of the time was the same as the uncle who burned the boiler, and she couldn't get into her eyes.
Although he is a doctoral supervisor, there are many teachers in colleges and universities, and there are many doctoral supervisors.
This White Lotus sent chicken soup to Nan Zhiyi, if it was placed in the past, it would really be explosive news.
Moreover, why didn't she act early or late, but when Ling Li domesticated Nan Zhiyi, a raunchy Shennongjia person, to halfway, she came to join in the fun?
You know, taking care of him is really the same as taking care of a child, you have to take care of everything from the inside out, when to take a shower, when to cut your hair, what kind of clothes to wear on what occasions, and it takes a lot of effort.
What's more, there's his gifted special skill for turning a room into a garbage dump, and the family's two energetic dogs.
Behind the Frankenstein who can see people today, is her willing dedication, how can she let the White Lotus easily cut off her beard?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, but she suddenly realized that she had no reason for her weakness in the face of Tao Xing, where was the root cause.
Tao Xing is a young student, one year younger than Ling Li, but she is already in her third year of doctorate. And after she followed Nan Zhiyi to study, she was almost half of his life assistant, before Ling Li met Nan Zhiyi, she was also this girl, under the pressure of her studies, she was in charge of one person and two dogs in Nan Zhiyi's family, trying her best to let Nan Zhiyi live in a normal space.
It can be said that Nan Zhiyi did not become a skeleton, except that at that time, he had the conditions to parasitize Tian Zhengyan, and it was Tao Xing who contributed the most.
Tao Xing has been by his side for so long, based on his understanding of Nan Zhiyi, based on the psychology of worshipping and relying on his mentor, he gradually has feelings for him that surpass that of teachers and students, and it is not too unacceptable.
Maybe in Tao Xing's eyes, Ling Li was like the white lotus who jumped out halfway and wanted to cut off her beard, snatching away the teacher who had taken care of her for so long, so she spoke ill of her.
Thinking of this, Ling Li didn't mind it so much.
Seeing that Ling Li was stunned again, Nan Zhiyi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes: "What's wrong?" Power outage again? β
Under the soft light, the lines of his side face were also softly lit, blurry, his eyes were clear, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his refreshing appearance said that some people believed it in their twenties.
Emmmm, it's because she's used to seeing him these days, so she forgets the attraction of the character of the Qingjun and high-IQ professor to girls.
Recalling that Lu Xiaoxiao danced to the point of flying, she should naturally think that Frankenstein would have such a sought-after time.
But in order to avoid the smell of those wild bees and butterflies, she is also unwilling to let Nanzhiyi degenerate into a Shennongjia savage again. Why? Teacher Nan of her family is smart and good-looking, why should she hide it because she is afraid that people will take a few more looks?
Therefore, since Nan Zhiyi has invited her into his world without reservation, she has to work harder.
Ling Li made up her mind, looked back at him, and said, "Let's all speed up the progress of the work in hand, strive to be early, and go back to see grandma." β
ββββ
As soon as December passes, the days are getting colder and colder, but looking at it, the atmosphere of the festival on the street is also getting stronger day by day.
Although Christmas is not so advocated in foreign countries, over the years, various media have rendered, and various businesses have taken the opportunity to carry out promotions, which is still very festive.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ling Li rushed into the law firm almost stuck in time, panting and taking off her down jacket, secretly glad that she seemed to have arrived earlier than Zhu Jinchuan.
As a result, as soon as she looked up, Lu Xiaoxiao was holding a teacup and staring at her with a smile.
Ling Li was a little strange and asked, "What?" β
Lu Xiaoxiao walked over to Nana, and as she approached, Ling Li smelled the sweet and fragrant smell in her cup.
"Honey grapefruit tea? It smells so good. Ling Li shrugged the tip of her nose, and the acid water in her mouth was rising.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her greedy, bumped her shoulder funny, and said meaningfully: "Your nose is so sharp, do you smell Xiao Qian approaching?" Have you ever heard that there are new local tyrants in this law firm? β
"Huh?" Ling Li didn't know where these words came from, staring at Lu Xiaoxiao, her head full of question marks.
Lu Xiaoxiao had an expression that she had already guessed, winked at her, and walked away again.
Her pretense was mysterious, and the mystery was not revealed until the afternoon - it turned out that Zhu Jinchuan had just won a second-instance case, and the subject matter of 300 million intellectual property rights was fought from the Funan High Court to the Supreme Court, from all losses to all wins.
By the way, the most critical point is that he signed a risk agency contract.
Sure enough, the new local tyrant is out - and it seems that a certain local tyrant is in a good mood.
At least, Ling Li felt that he had been looking at her with a thorn recently, and he seemed to be a little kinder, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was slightly higher than usual.
Lu Xiaoxiao is very good at observing words and feelings, seeing that Zhu Jinchuan is in a good mood, he boldly ran into his office, and his voice greatly suggested: "Zhu Tou, you have made a lot of money, have you considered sharing some soup for us to drink?" β
Zhu Jinchuan raised his eyebrows: "Want to get something for nothing? Compared to your age, your ideas may be a little naΓ―ve. β
Lu Xiaoxiao held her heart and looked very hurt: "Do you want to make such a personal attack?" I'm just going to suggest that the annual meeting of the institute be raised a notch. β
Zhu Jinchuan smiled lightly and said, "I have long had this intention. β
Whether it was because of the winning of the risk agency case, or because of Lu Xiaoxiao's extortion, in short, the budget given by Zhu Jinchuan for this annual meeting was quite amazing - so the venue of the annual meeting was set in a hot spring town nearly 200 kilometers away from the capital, and the time became two days and two nights.
It is said to be a small town, but it is actually a resort area, with an altitude of nearly two thousand meters, a five-star hotel, and a natural radon hot spring.
Unlike other hot spring hotels, you can soak in the open-air hot spring pool, and when the weather is good, you can see the snow-capped mountains not far away; If you're lucky enough to encounter snow, don't enjoy the snow while soaking in the hot springs.
Naturally, this place was chosen by Lu Xiaoxiao. She tried her best to hide that she was pregnant again, and she was bold enough to go to the hot spring, which also made Ling Li say it for a while.
Xiao Cheng, who was in charge of liaison, was quick to get the hotel's accommodation and meeting place, and the office was full of joy.
And the annual meeting has become a group trip, and Ling Li is actually a little entangled in whether to go or not.
Go ahead, don't worry that Nan Zhiyi is home alone. But I don't participate in this kind of collective activity once a year, and I am afraid of being scolded by Zhu Jinchuan.
Ling Li knew that Zhu Jinchuan was not so satisfied with her and Nan Zhiyi's together, and he also complained that she was not so hard at work because of Nan Zhiyi.
Indeed, after being with Nan Zhiyi, she seems to have not worked overtime, stayed up late, or slept hard for the case for a long time, and she is often able to get off work on time and never work overtime, and she does not look like a rookie who is down-to-earth and willing to work before.
Zhu Jinchuan didn't say anything, but he still used other things to beat Ling Li.
Ling Li knew that Zhu Jinchuan was also well-intentioned, and he couldn't get used to Ling Li giving up his career for a man.
It is true that what he said is right, but Nanzhiyi is now in a special period, and he is holding an important academic competition project with universities in other countries, which is very important, and some help to take care of his daily life.
This is not a sacrifice, but a good social division of labor according to one's ability and what one is good at.
It's just that she has always been a little weak about the record of zero cases closed in the last quarter - so try to avoid getting too close to Zhu Jinchuan, lest he remember to repair her one day.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally talked to Nan Zhiyi about it on WeChat.
Half a day passed before he replied, one word, go!
After that, he also instructed him to participate well, and by the way, to please the leaders, and take the Spring Festival leave - please be longer, they want to go back to Huacheng.
Because he thinks that the progress of the project is very good, he wants to take a long vacation for himself during the Spring Festival, accompany his grandmother well, and also accompany Ling Li, who has been busy during this time.
When Ling Li heard the news, she was almost so happy that she jumped up, pursed her lips and smirked all afternoon, which made Lu Xiaoxiao disgusted for a while.
A week later, on Friday afternoon, all of them finally set off for the annual meeting.
Ling Li arranged Nan Zhiyi's daily life in full swing before leaving, not only let Lu Peng accompany Nan Zhiyi at all times, but also instructed him in every detail, and even made a long list of what to do when and when to do it, listing more than 30 things that must be done every day in chronological order, so that Lu Pengsheng had nothing to love, but also sighed that it was great to find a Virgo girlfriend.
However, for another Taoxing who often took care of Nan Zhiyi, Ling Li didn't ask her.
It's one thing to be able to understand Tao Xing's actions, but she is not so stupid to put her family's tender and delicious Teacher Nan under Tao Xing's claws.
After arranging the size of the matter, Ling Li was not so relieved to pack her luggage and set off.
Almost all of the lawyers in the office had cars, but because they probably drank a lot on this trip, except for three or five who drove the car, everyone else was going to go up in a 20-seater business car rented by the office.
Zhu Jinchuan was one of the few people who drove the car, and when he saw Ling Li going downstairs, he consciously walked towards the car, he stopped her and said, "Why don't you take my car?" I happened to tell you about the case. β
Ling Li was stunned and replied, "Okay." β
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if Zhu Jinchuan really wants to take this opportunity to scold her, in order to ask for leave, she has no choice but to admit it.
It's not good, it's okay, there is Ma Lao in the car, more than three hours of driving, Zhu Jinchuan is not only focused on driving, but chatting with Ma Lao, and she doesn't see Ling Li in the back seat as nothing, she is even bored to sleep for a long time.
When I arrived at the hotel, it was already half past six in the afternoon.
One line was written and the luggage was put in the room, and around half past seven, dinner began.
Although it wasn't an official annual meeting, the dinner was quite rich β it took up a small five-table room in the hotel, and the meal was served with a special drink.
